Prince Philip of Greece served in WW 2 as an RN Officer and received a Mention in Dispatches.
Her Majesty's Father, King George VI, was a Gunnery Officer at the Battle of Jutland.
Prince Andrew went to the Falklands because it was his duty to go. I have met him and I have flown him; it never occurred to him that he should not go - it was his duty.
